kwapster Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 i've been reading up on the forum so far and all the methods i've seen so far involves using the tooltip of the program. The problem is this application does not use a tooltip and is integrated into internet explorer. Plz advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted October 21, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) kwapster,Do all the other icons present have a tooltip? If so then you just need to find the one that does not! M23Edit:Seriously, you might find the Application-defined Parameter useful.This code lists all the existing Systray icons with their parameter and text.#Include <GuiToolBar.au3> $hSysTray_Handle = Get_Systray_Handle() ; Get systray item count $iSystray_ButCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle) If $iSystray_ButCount = 0 Then MsgBox(16, "", "No items found in system tray") Exit EndIf ; Read tooltip text and parameter For $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 To $iSystray_ButCount - 1 $sText = _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber) $iParam = _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonParam($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber) ConsoleWrite($iSystray_ButtonNumber & ": " & $iParam & " - " & $sText & @CRLF) Next Func Get_Systray_Handle() $hSysTray_Handle = ControlGetHandle('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]', '', '[Class:ToolbarWindow32;Instance:1]') If @error Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "System tray not found") Exit Else Return $hSysTray_Handle EndIf EndFuncIf you were to run something along these lines just before you start your "no-text" app and then immediately after (I would use an array to store and compare myself) you should be able to identify the new icon and its parameter. You can then use this parameter to identify the icon in the same way as you have seen the tooltip text used elsewhere.Alas the parameter appears not to remain the same each time you run the app - at least it certainly did not when I tried it just now on a few apps that have a systray icon - so you will have to do this every time to obtain the parameter value. I hope that helps - come back if you run into problems.

kwapster Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 melba thanks for your reply...you seem to be an expert on this issue based on my reading. when i run your code nothing happens though. No popup or anything. Windows 7 x64 and 1 edit to the first post. its actually explorer.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted October 21, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2011 kwapster, when i run your code nothing happens though. No popup or anythingDid you run the code from within SciTE? The script should write to the console within SciTE (that is what the ConsoleWrite line does) - there are no pop-ups. And I do not understand your second point - if you have a systray icon this code should find it.

Moderators Melba23 Posted October 21, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2011 kwapster,Funniest systray icon I have ever seen! In fact I am not sure it is an icon at all based on that. As you have the required ID parameters, have you tried ControlClick? ControlClick("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]", "", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.378734a; ID:263874; NAME:themedButton]", "secondary")Any luck?

Moderators Melba23 Posted October 22, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 22, 2011 kwapster, Try using ControlSend - it is more reliable. You might need to use ControlFocus first though.

kryder Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hi Melba, I have fallen into the same problem with a program called "3G Modem Connect" (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/120638/3G-Modem-Internet-Dialer) which does not have any tooltiptext. (same problem as kwapster) I run the script that lists all the existing Systray icons with their parameter and text and it works fine and get this : --> Press Ctrl+Alt+F5 to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop 0: 1423008 - 1: 79241768 - AutoIt - 3333.au3 2: 0 - 3: 37968272 - Lydstyrke 4: 0 - 5: 79251048 - Sikker fjernelse af hardware 6: 1425416 - 7: 79247568 - 8: 37857240 - 9: 38064992 - 10: 38076424 - 11: 38680704 - 12: 637368 - 13: 79231328 - 14: 38622848 - 15: 38278040 - 16: 38279144 - 17: 638472 - 18: 38144888 - 19: 37990792 - +>01:28:50 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:0 >Exit code: 0 Time: 2.862 And this is where I get stuck ! I get the Icon ID (3: 37968272 - Lydstyrke) If I take the other code you have given to kwapster and put my own icon ID in, nothing happens. ControlClick("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]", "", "[CLASS:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.378734a; ID:37968272; NAME:themedButton]", "secondary") Can you give me a hand ?

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 3, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2012 kryder,Welcome to the AutoIt forum. I am confused - you say that when you use the code i posted above it gives you this result for the relevant icon:3: 37968272 - LydstyrkeThe final part of this is returned by _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText and yet you say there is no text displayed? However, as the function does return something (even if it is not displayed) this code should work for you: expandcollapse popup#Include <GuiToolBar.au3> Global $hSysTray_Handle, $iSysTray_ButtonNumber Global $sToolTipTitle = "Lydstyrke" ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The returned text for the icon $iSysTray_ButtonNumber = Get_SysTray_Index($sToolTipTitle) If $iSysTray_ButtonNumber = 0 Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "Icon not found in system tray") Exit Else Sleep(500) _GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton($hSysTray_Handle, $iSysTray_ButtonNumber, "right") EndIf Exit ;............ Func Get_SysTray_Index($sToolTipTitle) ; Find systray handle $hSysTray_Handle = ControlGetHandle('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]', '', '[Class:ToolbarWindow32;Instance:1]') If @error Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "System tray not found") Exit EndIf ; Get systray item count Local $iSysTray_ButCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle) If $iSysTray_ButCount = 0 Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "No items found in system tray") Exit EndIf ; Look for wanted tooltip For $iSysTray_ButtonNumber = 0 To $iSysTray_ButCount - 1 If StringInStr(_GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonText($hSysTray_Handle, $iSysTray_ButtonNumber), $sToolTipTitle) <> 0 Then ExitLoop Next If $iSysTray_ButtonNumber = $iSysTray_ButCount Then Return 0 ; Not found Else Return $iSysTray_ButtonNumber ; Found EndIf EndFuncAny luck?

kryder Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hi, M23 I'm sorry, I was wrong. It is the icon ID " 17: 638472 - " It has no text. You can help ? - Kryder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 4, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2012 kryder, If you reboot your machine and rerun the script, does the icon still come up with the same parameter value (638472)?

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 4, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2012 kryder, I was afraid that would be the case. How did you determine which icon it is in the list so that you could post the relevant parameter? Perhaps we can the same thing programatically.

kryder Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hi, M23 1. I run the script, without the "3G Modem Connect" has been started and copy the list over to notebook 2. I run the script, with the "3G Modem Connect" started and copy the list over to notebook 3.

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 4, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2012 kryder,Then we will do the same sort of thing - only we will automate the "3G Modem Connect" as well so that you only have to click once and you get both the app running and find the correct parameter.

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 4, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2012 kryder,See if this works for you - it should display a MsgBox and then open the context menu from the icon: expandcollapse popup#Include <GuiToolBar.au3> Global $hSysTray_Handle = Get_Systray_Handle() ; Get initial count $iSystray_ButCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle) If $iSystray_ButCount = 0 Then MsgBox(16, "", "No items found in system tray") Exit EndIf ; Read current tooltip parameter Global $aInitial_Array[$iSystray_ButCount + 1] = [$iSystray_ButCount] For $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 To $iSystray_ButCount - 1 $aInitial_Array[$iSystray_ButtonNumber + 1] = _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonParam($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber) Next ; Now start the app and wait until the icon appears Run("C:Programmer3G Modem Connect3GModemConnect.exe") Do Sleep(10) Until $iSystray_ButCount <> _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle) ; Reset the count $iSystray_ButCount = _GUICtrlToolbar_ButtonCount($hSysTray_Handle) ; Read new tooltip parameters Global $aFinal_Array[$iSystray_ButCount + 1] = [$iSystray_ButCount] For $iSystray_ButtonNumber = 0 To $iSystray_ButCount - 1 $aFinal_Array[$iSystray_ButtonNumber + 1] = _GUICtrlToolbar_GetButtonParam($hSysTray_Handle, $iSystray_ButtonNumber) Next ; Now check which icon is new For $i = $aFinal_Array[0] To 1 Step -1; Start with the newest because that is probably the one we want For $j = 1 To $aInitial_Array[0] ConsoleWrite($aFinal_Array[$i] & " - " & $aInitial_Array[$j] & @CRLF) If $aFinal_Array[$i] = $aInitial_Array[$j] Then ExitLoop EndIf ; This parameter not found MsgBox(0, "Icon parameter", $aFinal_Array[$i] & @CRLF & "Button ID = " & $i) ; And a check to see if it is correct _GUICtrlToolbar_ClickButton($hSysTray_Handle, $i, "right") Exit Next Next Func Get_Systray_Handle() $hSysTray_Handle = ControlGetHandle('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]', '', '[Class:ToolbarWindow32;Instance:1]') If @error Then MsgBox(16, "Error", "System tray not found") Exit Else Return $hSysTray_Handle EndIf EndFuncAny luck?
